Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt)
  • 3 large eggs
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, eggs, and sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy, ensuring the sugar has dissolved. Next, add the lemon zest and lemon juice, and mix thoroughly to infuse the batter with bright citrus flavor.
  2. Bake the cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it in the oven. Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor and natural acidity.
  • This cake is naturally gluten-free due to the absence of flour.
  • Ensure the yogurt is well strained if too watery to avoid a soggy cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before serving for optimal texture.
  • Garnish with powdered sugar or lemon slices if desired.
